If you're looking for cute cupcakes, you won't find them at Butch Bakery. Former attorney turned cupcake businessman David Arrick started Butch Bakery to cater to, simply put, dudes who like cupcakes. You won't find pink sprinkles, flowers or frill on these man cakes. David has brought the "masculine aesthetic" and unique ingredients to the traditionally cutesy cake. Pictured here is the Jack Daniel's Rush, a red velvet cupcake with Jack Daniel's cream cheese frosting.
